Hello guys,
I've lurked around rec.woodworking for some years and made an occasional
post.
It's really good to see a ng being actively used. I've been hooked on usenet
for about 20 years.
The knowledge here is phenomenal.
Also, and perhaps unlike us rightpondian users, you are civil and polite in
the main.
I thank you.
Nick.

I read XKCD religiously, even have a couple of T-shirts. My fave is the
"sudo make me a sandwich" one.

Read the comic first, then the explanation. (Normally, I'd link to the
comic only, but the explanation is fun, too.)

The funniest part of the explanation is the "citation needed" tag next to "Canada is arguably part of reality already".

Somebody here owes me a new monitor. I was chomping peanuts and swilling
good ale when I read.
Thanks guys, and Jane (?), I'm glad I posted and you've reaffirmed my
original thought.

That does not qualify you to make additional posts. You must establish at
least 6 months of active posting before you can make a post...

Oh hell - pay more attention. We can be down right ornery. Especially the
Canadians... And even worse - the guys from the left coast.
